Good day people.
Our public transport adventures continue today. As usual, I
am typing this in a commercial bus on Third Mainland Bridge.
As I stepped out this morning, I saw 2 guys that were acting
suspiciously. I greeted them and they didn't respond. Ah! I quickly intensified
my walk. At some point, I felt one of them was trying to catch up with me so I
walked even faster. I eventually met up with a crowd and all was clear. I think
I've seen too many thrillers, what do you think? Lol.
Anyway, I got to Berger with no drama except for a man that
was either half-asleep or drunk that we almost hit. My mum will say that it
seems someone told him that the stuff in cars that causes injury has been
removed. Thankfully, the driver saw him in time and avoided hitting him.
The driver was moving the vehicle and looking back at the
half-asleep/drunk dude. I quickly told the driver to 'face front'. It struck me
that that's how some people live their lives stuck in their past and though
they appear to be making progress, their hearts/minds are cluttered.
As I got to Berger, I realised that the evil hole in the
sidewalk has increased to 3 with nothing to protect unsuspecting
pedestrians...It is well ooo.
I'll be happy to report to the appropriate authorities if I
knew how to.
I got to the BRT terminal and found an ungodly queue. If I
waited there, I suspected that I would spend nothing less than 3 hours before I
could board a bus. I quickly advised myself and boarded a yellow bus instead.
The bus I boarded charged 150 Naira instead of 100 Naira, just like the
problematic one I joined last week. I warned the driver and conductor that they
would face the same problems but they ignored the words of the
"Prophetess"...Lol.
As we journeyed on Third Mainland Bridge, the vehicle
suddenly stopped just as the "Prophetess" said (oya drop your
offering, lol). Seriously, I realised that I had spoken carelessly and I quickly
asked for forgiveness and asked for mercy. Not long after, the bus came back to
life and we continued our journey. I am closer now to the office than when I
first began...I shall use my "Prophetess" power to pray that the
appropriate authorities will wake up and close the holes in the sidewalk on the
way to the BRT terminal at Berger...I can't believe no one has fallen into any
of them yet. I can tell you, though, that if nothing is done urgently, someone
will fall in and seriously injure themselves...I hope our
"responsive" government will address this. I feel even more
passionate about it as I see a poster of someone promising a clean and secure
environment! Please fix the deep holes in our walkway...Thanks.
Enjoy the day...
